It's not all that much to look at. This station however is pretty clean, which isn't all that usual. It heads up Central Park West for a stretch and into Harlem. The station is also near a bus stop. It's overall an okay station. Convenient if you're going to northern areas of Central Park. These areas include the transverse road and the waterfalls.

Dear MTA, Please be…read moreaware that every day someone explores and rides on a new line and may need to be informed effectively how to make their way around. This was my 1st time taking this train to the last stop I wanted to get to the Bronx via the 3 train at 145th st. and then transfer onto the 19 bus to cross the bridge. I messed up. I stayed on to 148 by mistake and had to take the downtown 1 stop for 145th. The conduct did announce that only the first 5 cars would open at 145th st. yet did not give a newbie like myself time to count the cars and run to the car I needed to be in and I ended up unable to get off and heading back downtown. Sad. Why announce what section of the train we need to be in if the doors are gonna close as soon as you do so?

When hopping around on the upper west side it's convenient to take back to the UES/Yorkville area where I live. Much cheaper than a cab. Usually it's pretty close to the times on the schedule but it's dependent on the weather, traffic, and annoying riders making the bus stop at every damn corner! Some people are just too damn lazy to walk a block or two! What is up with that? What I do like about these buses is that the AC is usually cranked up. During this heat wave I just get on the bus and remove my pants to ride in cold air comfort. People stare at me. Cops chase me off the bus. Wait - is that illegal?

With all the traffic, stop and go, and people seeming to get on and off at every damn corner it was enough to almost make me go postal! Seemed like a good idea at the time but I could have gotten off and jogged downtown to my destination faster than riding this bus. At least the AC worked ok.

It's also ADA compliant with total accessibility. If you want to see the station's public art, you'll have to go to the 96th St entry and look up! Antenna Design New York (Masamichi Udagawa + Sigi Moeslinger) created "Bloemendaal" hanging metal sculptural piece with flower shapes that remind me of mod "Flower Power" designs that appeared everywhere in the '60s. 96th St. starts the section of the Upper West Side also called Bloomingdale, which extends to 110th Street. Before 1868, Broadway up here was called Bloomingdale Road, taken from the Dutch "Bloemendaal" District, where there were houses and farms running from what is now approximately 23rd St. up to 125th St. This is not to be confused with the department store Bloomingdale's, which was named after Benjamin Bloomingdale in 1861.

Along each platform, you'll notice black framed pieces, including the "Westside Views" as well as "Westside Poem" by Pedro Pietri, the poet/playwright who was one of the co-founders of the Nuyorican Movement. The local Community Board, seeking to use available funds for a youth project to benefit the community, enlisted Mexican-born Nuyorican artist Nitza Trufiño, who earlier founded El Museo de Barrio. Trufiño brought in 17 kids to collaborate, most part of a program at Grosvenor Neighborhood House. Pictures were taken, interviews made, then the images students drew were captured in these murals, installed in 1989. Take a look at each wonderful individual tile telling a story about this neighborhood and its people. It's worth a visit to this station in the Upper West Side. Btw, Nitza Trufiño's work is also featured in the 103rd Street Station of the Lexington Ave. Local Line 6 train Subway Station.

The staff were very friendly and the other people staying there were nice too. Note I don't usually stay in hostels because I'm old and bougie, but my family was visiting from far away and they booked it - it worked perfectly because the private room sleeps 6 so we could all stay together with a double bed plus 2 bunks and a private bath. I'm only giving 4 stars because of a couple of things -#1 the double bed in the room was too soft and soooo squeaky, any movement was amplified 1000x. #2 The lightweight comforters on the beds are not washed. That really grossed me out when we gathered all our sheets at the end of our stay and were told to leave the blankets as they are not washed between guests. YUCK. If I had known in advance I would have gone out and bought a fresh blanket. Ugh the thought of it now still churns my stomach. Otherwise a great stay, very accomodating lovely place, and the price is right.
